ID This Hone for me please
Attachment 161310Attachment 161308Attachment 161309Attachment 161311I am wanting to ID this hone. It is very smooth and leaves a nice finish on razor. I had an authentic Escher and it scratches like that, if that makes sense. It is maroon in color and makes a water slurry.

Must not be a Yellow Lake, but i agree with Utopian that there are some around looking alike.
...my guess tend in the direction of beeing a Vosges / Vosgienne....is it a very hard stone ? slurry is Violet slightly brown...
Would like to hear other Opinions and guesses...anybody around from the french hone thread ?...Thaeris, Margeja, Hatzicho, Modine, Piet....

The best Way to seperate a Vosges in comparison to a yellow lake is the "fast cutting" ability....if you do 10-20 strokes after the pre-finishing phase and you get a fine mirror finished edge i would more tend talking about a Vosges then on a Yellow Lake...
The Vosges removes Material very fast, and could be compared in my thinking to a red La Lune...or in thinking on Barber Hones like a Frictionite...
Also Lapping might be different the Vosges is a very hard and very dense Stone and not easy to lap...
